Movie Quote(s):

[Alien eats David's hat] Max: That could have been your head David.

Max: I told you, I blew a fuse when I totaled that electrical tower. I was checking out some daisies. David: You crashed while looking at FLOWERS?

Max: I crashed into electrical towers and my star charts were erased. I need the ones in your head to complete my mission. David: So you need ME and my INFERIOR brain to fly that thing? Max: Correction, I need the SUPERIOR information in your INFERIOR brain to fly this... thing.

Max: Are we there yet? Where are we anyway? David: Geez, I have no idea where we are. We got to get directions. Max, David: [they hear "Trapped in My Mind" coming from a convertible on the highway] Hmm. David: I wonder if that's that Twisted Sister stuff Carolyn was talking about. Teen in Car: Come on. David: [they lower the space ship beside the car at a stop sign] Hi, you wouldn't happen to know the way to Fort Lauderdale, would you? Max: [Max sticks his 'head' out] Try to make your directions clear because we get lost easy. Teen in Car: [freaking out] Fly! [they speed off] Max: Hey! Thanks for nothing!... Were those geeks, David? David: Yes, Max. Those were geeks.

Max: I do not leak, you leak!
